We have been greatly impressed by the level of concentration achieved by the children not only during the programme but in activities we follow through with. Playwam are happy to recommend ‘Singing Hands’. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome!

We are Suzanne and Tracy, co-founders of Singing Hands and we introduce you to the amazing world of signs through songs, rhymes, stories and games.

Babies have a natural tendency to use gesture (eg. clapping and waving bye-bye) and introducing some baby signs will build on these normal patterns of communication development.

In our baby signing classes we show parents/carers a range of signs to help communicate with a young baby. We show you signs for MORE, ALL GONE and MILK to help your little one communicate his/her needs before their speech has developed.

November 2011: Singing Hands wins GOLD Award

Such a great bit of new to report this month – our second DVD ‘It’s Signing Time 2’ has been awarded a prestigious Gold Practical Pre-School Award 2011 in the Music and Multimedia category. We scored a whopping 97.8%.

Testers said: “A fantastic resource, which facilitates development across all areas of the EYFS and sustained the children’s interest and enthusiasm. The children loved this DVD and needed no encouragement to join in! They were very quickly singing along, copying the actions and signing. We had a child with EAL in the class and she loved joining in with the singing, asking for the DVD to be played each day”

Thank you to all our lovely families who helped make this DVD – be it in the scorching heat in Kew trying to be a scarecrow, driving round the streets of Twickers on the big red bus or elsewhere – it was all worth it :)

Singing Hands and Something Special

In early 2005, we filmed a little segment for the ‘arched window’ on BBC Cbeebies Tikkabilla. In this slot, which was first shown in December 2005, we did a signed sing-a-long session (including our fave song ‘Mmm mmm frog’) with a group of children. It was a really inclusive session with our own kids plus other children from local schools and nurseries that we visit, some toddlers who had attended our baby signing classes and some friends from the Toy Library for Children with Special Needs.

We were therefore delighted to then be invited by the Producer of Something Special to contribute to this new series. You will see from the list below that five of the new episodes are focused specifically on showing you how to sign nursery rhymes and songs. These episodes feature a magical nursery rhyme world with a castle and a blue road for Justin to explore…....
